Cleaning up the NEC SpectraView Confusion Once and For All
There has been a lot of confusion recently surrounding the NEC SpectraView II calibration software and the NEC SpectraView Reference PA series. Both products are part of the NEC colour critical product line, so why the need for product comparisons?
NEC SpectraView Software II vs. basICColor Monitor Calibration Software
The NEC SpectraView II software, for the MultiSync panel product line, was developed for the North American market based specifically on their industry needs.
The NEC SpectraView panel and Profiler 4.1 software based on the basICColor Display 4.1 software was developed for the European market to compete with the EIZO ColorEdge colour critical monitor.
The Australian users have a unique opportunity as they can choose between the two software products options which deliver the same hardware monitor calibration for both the NEC MultiSync 90 and PA series.
The key advantage of the basICColor monitor software is that it surpasses the German printing industry expectations for monitor soft proofing. It also has the added advantage of being able to drive any two monitors connected to the same machine. These attributes ensure that it is the most versatile calibration option.
Current users of the basICColor Display 4.1 monitor calibration software will receive a 50% discount on their purchase of a second and any further licenses from ColourProcess.

NEC SpectraView Reference PA Series Confusion
There has been some confusion surrounding the NEC SpectraView monitors. The terminology used for the NEC SpectraView Ref PA241, NEC SpectraView Ref PA271 and NEC SpectraView Ref PA301 ensures that all three monitors fall under the specifically assigned European product line. This line was developed to compete against the EIZO ColorEdge product line. To ensure that they are able to effectively compete all monitors in this PA series product line undergo a very tight certification process.
